“Great data management tool”

This is a gret software designed for midsize and large enterprises. It provides a single location to manage both data assets and policies associated with it. Their analytics feature helped in identifying and addressing weak points and that in turn helped in improvising data management

“Initial implementation was straightforward, everything afterwards was a arduous ”

The vendor started with a great product but it's evolution has been very slow. Upgrade are very very difficult to install. It took a year to work through all the kinks to migrate from one major version to another. The product still has potential but the user experience is still too klunky, needs to be improved and made super intuitive to use, which is not the case now. You can make this product do anything with metadata but just time to market due to slow upgrades and specialized development skills causes operations and business to be slow to adapt and promote the use.
